Activation of Akt (protein kinase B) stimulates metaphase I to metaphase II transition in bovine oocytes.
In somatic cells, the serine/threonine kinase Akt (or protein kinase B) was shown to contribute to processes linked to cellular growth, cell survival and cell cycle regulation. In contrast to these findings, the function of Akt during the meiosis of mammalian oocytes remains to be investigated. We analysed the phosphorylation pattern and the activity of Akt during meiotic maturation (transition...
متن کاملAge-Associated Lipidome Changes in Metaphase II Mouse Oocytes
The quality of mammalian oocytes declines with age, which negatively affects fertilization and developmental potential. The aging process often accompanies damages to macromolecules such as proteins, DNA, and lipids. To investigate if aged oocytes display an altered lipidome compared to young oocytes, we performed a global lipidomic analysis between oocytes from 4-week-old and 42 to 50-week-old...
متن کاملCdc25A activity is required for the metaphase II arrest in mouse oocytes.
Mammalian oocytes are arrested in metaphase of second meiosis (MII) until fertilization. This arrest is enforced by the cytostatic factor (CSF), which maintains the M-phase promoting factor (MPF) in a highly active state. Although the continuous synthesis and degradation of cyclin B to maintain the CSF-mediated MII arrest is well established, it is unknown whether cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (Cdk...
متن کاملDOC1R: a MAP kinase substrate that control microtubule organization of metaphase II mouse oocytes.
For the success of fertilization, spindles of vertebrate oocytes must remain stable and correctly organized during the arrest in metaphase II of meiosis. Using a two-hybrid screen with MAPK as a bait, we have recently identified MISS (MAPK interacting and spindle stabilizing) which controls mouse oocyte metaphase II spindle stability. Using the same screen, we identify another MAPK partner, DOC...
متن کاملDamaged chromatin does not prevent the exit from metaphase I in fused mouse oocytes.
The presence of checkpoint mechanisms which are able to recognize damaged chromatin and thereafter to prevent exit from metaphase I has been investigated in giant mouse oocytes produced by fusion of a normal metaphase I oocyte with an equivalent oocyte with damaged chromatin. The presence of damaged chromatin did not prevent the onset of anaphase I in both sets of chromatin in the fused cells. ...
